Roland: Whoa...ten or more years to go in Iraq? This story will follow me into retirement! Rick: Mark, have you noticed that Rumsfeld has lost a lot of his swagger in recent weeks? Mark: Can't say that I have. Donald Rumsfeld: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Rick: Really? He doesn't seem a bit chastened to you? Mark: No, but let's test that hypothesis... Donald: Yes, Mark. Mark: Mr. Secretary, there seems to be growing agreement that this war has become ruinous-military, fiscally, politically and morally...and that, as in Vietnam, it's no longer a question of if we withdraw in disgrace, but when. Sir, how many more young Americans will have to die to save face for the chicken hawks who dreamt up this war? Donald: I don't know. I'll try to get that figure for you. Rick: See? Mark: I'll be darned.
